Caron Boats Up
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
A player opened from the hijack for 8,000 before David Caron made it 44,000 on the button. The hijack shoved for approximately 63,000 and was called by Caron.
Opponent: A♠Q♦
David Caron: 10♠10♣
Caron was in a coin flip, but he slammed the flop when it came the 10♥K♠K♥, upgrading Caron to a full house and forcing his opponent into a runner-runner prayer to stay alive in the tournament.
The Q♣ turn made his opponent eligible for the miracle runout, but it did not happen on the 3♥ river as Caron took down the pot late on Day 1a.
